RECORD DATE; QUORUM

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on May 22, 2018 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. As of May 16, 2018, we had 10,675,508 issued and outstanding ordinary shares (this number does not include 258,046 ordinary shares all of which were repurchased by us, that were held by us at that date by us as treasury shares under Israeli law). Each ordinary share, other than ordinary shares held by us as treasury shares, is entitled to be counted for purposes of a quorum and to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Meeting. Our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Association, or the Articles, do not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors or for any other purpose.

The presence at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, of two or more shareholders holding more than 25% of the voting rights of the Company, will constitute a quorum. All ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy (including broker non-votes and shares that abstain or do not vote with respect to one or more of the matters to be voted upon) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the Meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting shall stand adjourned on the same day, in the next week, at the same time and place. The requisite quorum at an adjourned meeting shall be any two or more members, present in person or by proxy at the meeting.

VOTING RIGHTS; REQUIRED VOTES

The votes of all shareholders voting on a proposal are counted. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as either a vote “for” or “against” a proposal. “Broker non-votes” are shares held by brokers or other nominees which are present in person or represented by proxy, but which are not voted on a particular matter because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner of the shares. Brokers and other nominees have discretionary voting authority under the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange to vote on “routine” matters. Please note that the uncontested election of directors is not considered a “routine” matter under such rules. This means that if a brokerage firm holds your shares on your behalf, those shares will not be voted in the election of directors, or with respect to the other non-routine matters on the agenda of the Meeting, unless you provide voting instructions to your brokerage firm or obtain a proxy from your brokerage firm and vote the shares yourself, in person or by proxy.

Each of the resolutions to be presented at the Meeting requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the ordinary shares voted in person or by proxy at the Meeting on the matter presented for passage. However, the approval of the proposal under Item 5 and a portion of the proposals under Items 2 and 6 is also required to comply with additional special “disinterested” voting requirements as set forth herein.  Item 9 does not require a shareholder vote.

TERMS OF SERVICE AND EMPLOYMENT OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

For information concerning the terms of service and employment of our five most highly compensated office holders during or with respect to the year ended December 31, 2017 see “Item 6.B: Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Compensation” of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 29, 2018. An “office holder” is defined under the Israeli Companies Law, 1999, or, as amended from time to time, the Companies Law, as a general manager, chief business manager, vice general manager, any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of the foregoing positions without regard to such person’s title, and a director, or manager directly subordinate to the general manager.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of May 16, 2018 by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5.0% or more of our ordinary shares. Each of our shareholders has identical voting rights with respect to its shares. All of the information with respect to beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares is given to the best of our knowledge based on public filings by the shareholders (the most recent is a Schedule 13D/A filed on September 3, 2013) and on information provided by them.

To our knowledge, except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table, each shareholder in the table has sole voting and investment power for the ordinary shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

(1)
As used in this table, “beneficial ownership” means the sole or shared power to vote or direct the voting or to dispose or direct the disposition of any security as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this table, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired within 60 days from May 16, 2018 through the exercise of any option or warrant. Ordinary shares subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of the person holding such options or warrants, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of any other person. The amounts and percentages are based on a total of 10,675,508 ordinary shares outstanding as of May 16, 2018. This number of outstanding ordinary shares does not include a total of 258,046 ordinary shares held at that date as treasury shares under Israeli law, all of which were repurchased by us. For so long as such treasury shares are owned by us they have no rights and, accordingly, are neither eligible to participate in or receive any future dividends which may be paid to our shareholders nor are they entitled to participate in, be voted at or be counted as part of the quorum for, any meetings of our shareholders.

(2)
The 4,016,842 ordinary shares beneficially owned by Mr. Nehama consist of: (i) 3,551,869 ordinary shares held by S. Nechama Investments (2008) Ltd., or Nechama Investments, which constitute approximately 33.3% of our outstanding ordinary shares and (ii) 464,973 ordinary shares and held directly by Mr. Nehama, which constitute approximately 4.4% of our outstanding ordinary shares. Mr. Nehama, as the sole officer, director and shareholder of Nechama Investments, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own any ordinary shares owned by Nechama Investments, which constitute (together with his shares) approximately 37.6% of our outstanding ordinary shares.
 
(3)
Kanir Joint Investments (2005) Limited Partnership, or Kanir, is an Israeli limited partnership. Kanir Ltd., in its capacity as the general partner of Kanir, has the voting and dispositive power over the ordinary shares directly beneficially owned by Kanir. As a result, Kanir Ltd. may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the ordinary shares beneficially owned by Kanir. Messrs. Hemi Raphael and Ran Fridrich, who are members of our Board of Directors, are the sole directors of Kanir Ltd. and Mr. Raphael is a majority shareholder of Kanir Ltd. As a result, Messrs. Raphael and Fridrich may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the ordinary shares beneficially owned by Kanir, which constitute, together with their holdings as set forth in footnote (4), 29.5% and 26.4%, respectively, of our outstanding ordinary shares.

ITEM 2

REELECTION AND COMPENSATION OF EXTERNAL DIRECTOR

Background

Companies incorporated under the laws of Israel whose shares have been offered to the public, such as our company, are required by the Companies Law to have at least two external directors. Each external director may serve for up to three terms of three years. However, pursuant to the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief for Public Companies with Shares Listed for Trading on a Stock Market Outside of Israel), 5760-2000, or the Relief Regulations, Israeli companies listed on certain stock exchanges outside Israel, including the NYSE American (such as our company), may appoint an external director for additional terms of not more than three years each, subject to certain conditions. Our other directors are elected annually.

Our currently serving external directors are Barry Ben Zeev, whose service term is due to end on December 29, 2018 and Mordechai Bignitz, whose service term is due to end on December 19, 2020. Mr. Ben Zeev was elected for his first three-year term in the general meeting of our shareholders held on December 30, 2009, for his second three-year term in the general meeting of our shareholders held on June 20, 2012, and for his third three-year term in the general meeting of our shareholders held on June 18, 2015, or the 2015 Shareholders Meeting, and is standing for reelection for an additional three-year term, commencing December 30, 2018.
 
The Companies Law prescribes the requirements and qualifications of an external director. Among other requirements and limitations, in order to qualify as an external director an individual may not be a relative of a controlling shareholder and she or he, or her or his relative, partner, employer, direct or indirect supervisor or an entity she or he controls, may not have, and may not have had at any time during the previous two years, any affiliation to the company, the controlling shareholder of the company or a relative of the controlling shareholder of the company or to an entity that, on the date of appointment of during the preceding two years, is or was controlled by the company or by the company’s controlling shareholder. The term affiliation includes: an employment relationship, a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis, control, and service as an office holder. In addition, no individual may serve as an external director if the individual’s position or other activities create or may create a conflict of interest with his or her role as an external director or if she or he, or her or his relative, partner, employer, direct or indirect supervisor, or an entity she or he controls, has other than negligible business or professional relations with any of the persons with which the external director himself may not be affiliated, even if such relations are not routine. In addition, at least one of the external directors must have “accounting and financial expertise” and any other external director must have “accounting and financial expertise” or “professional qualification,” as such terms are defined by regulations promulgated under the Companies Law.

For a period of two years following the termination of services as an external director, the company, its controlling shareholder and any entity the controlling shareholder controls may not provide any benefit to such former external director, directly or indirectly. The prohibited benefits include the appointment as an office holder in the company or the controlled entity, employment of, or receipt of professional services from, the former external director for compensation, including through an entity such former external director controls. The same prohibition applies to the former external director’s spouse and child for the same two-year period and to other relatives of the external director for a period of one year following the termination of services as an external director.

All of the external directors of a company must be members of its audit committee and compensation committee and at least one external director is required to serve on every committee authorized to exercise any of the powers of the board of directors. Mr. Ben Zeev is the chairman of our Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.

Reelection of Mr. Ben Zeev for an additional Three-Year Term

In general, external directors serve for a three-year term, which may be renewed for only two additional three-year term. However, as noted above, pursuant to the Relief Regulations, certain Israeli companies may appoint an external director for additional terms of not more than three years each, subject to the following conditions: (i) the audit committee, and thereafter the board of directors, confirmed that in light of the expertise and special contribution of the external director to the work of the board and its committees, the appointment for another term is for the benefit of the company, (ii) in the event the appointment is recommended by the board, the appointment is approved in the same manner as the appointment of an external director for the initial three-year term (as explained below), and (iii) the period during which the external director served as an external director and the reasons of the audit committee and the board of directors for the extension have been presented to the general meeting prior to the approval of the appointment.
 
- 8 -


Our Audit Committee and Board of Directors discussed the appointment of Mr. Ben Zeev for a fourth three-year term as an external director and resolved that in light of Mr. Ben Zeev’s financial expertise and experience as a board member of other public companies, and in light of Mr. Ben Zeev’s in-depth knowledge and familiarity with our financial position and our operations, including our business prospects, business plans and opportunities and in light of Mr. Ben Zeev’s position as the chairman of our Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, the appointment of Mr. Ben Zeev as an external director for a fourth three-year term is for the benefit of our company.

Accordingly, at the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to reelect Mr. Ben Zeev as an external director for a fourth three-year term, commencing December 30, 2018.

We are unaware of any reason why Mr. Ben Zeev, if elected, should be unable to serve as a member of our Board of Directors. If Mr. Ben Zeev is unable to serve, the persons named in the proxy, or either one of them, will vote the shares represented thereby “FOR” the election of another nominee proposed by our Board of Directors. Mr. Ben Zeev advised the Board of Directors that he intends to serve as a member of the Board of Directors if elected.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 241 of the Companies Law, Mr. Ben Zeev provided us with a “Declaration of Competence” prior to the publication of the notice of annual general meeting of shareholders, declaring that he fulfills all the qualifications of an external director under the Companies Law and that he has the requisite accounting and financial expertise. Such declaration also includes a confirmation of fulfillment of the qualifications of an independent director and member of an audit committee under the applicable SEC rules and regulations and the NYSE American Company Guide. Such declarations are available for review at our offices, at the address set forth above, during regular business hours.

The following information is supplied with respect to Mr. Ben Zeev, who is nominated for the position of external director and recommended to be elected by our Board of Directors and is based upon our records and information furnished to the Board of Directors by the nominee:

Mr. Ben Zeev holds an MBA from Tel-Aviv University specializing in financing, and a BA in Economics from Tel-Aviv University.

Approval of the Compensation of Mr. Ben Zeev

At the Meeting, our shareholders will be asked to approve the compensation of Mr. Ben Zeev for his additional three-year term. The compensation of an external director is governed by the Compensation Regulations, is required to be approved at the general meeting at which the external director is elected and cannot generally be revised during the external director’s term in office.

Mr. Ben Zeev previously received an indemnification undertaking (which includes an undertaking to provide liability insurance) and an exemption letter, in the forms attached as exhibits to our 2017 Annual Report, and is included in our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. For information concerning a new form of indemnification undertaking and exemption and the renewal of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, both of which will apply to Mr. Ben Zeev, see Items 6 and 7 below.
 
- 9 -


The proposed cash and equity compensation for Mr. Ben Zeev during his additional three-year term is as follows:
 
External Directors’ Fees

The Compensation Regulations set forth a range of fees that may be paid by Israeli public companies to their external directors, depending upon each company’s equity based on the most recent financial statements. If reelected, Mr. Ben Zeev will be entitled to receive annual and attendance fees equal to the minimum cash amounts permitted to be paid to our external directors pursuant to the Compensation Regulations based on our current category and equity. For more information see under Item 1 above.

External Directors’ Options

As previously approved by our shareholders, each of our current and future non-employee directors are entitled to receive an annual grant of options to purchase 1,000 ordinary shares, currently representing less than 0.01% of our outstanding ordinary shares, under the terms and conditions set forth in our 1998 Option Plan. These options are valid for a period of 10 years (subject to certain exceptions detailed in the 1998 Option Plan) and have an exercise price equal to the average closing bid and sale prices of the ordinary shares on the grant date, on the market on which the shares are traded. The renewal of the 1998 Option Plan is presented for shareholder approval under Item 3 below.

Based on the terms of the compensation policy applicable to our office holders, or the Compensation Policy, the options granted to our non-employee directors under the 1998 Option Plan vest in one installment on the first anniversary of the grant date of the options, provided that the option holder still serves as a member of our Board of Directors on such date (otherwise, the unvested options will immediately expire on the date of Termination of Service, as such term is defined in the 1998 Option Plan).

In accordance with our Compensation Policy, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved, and recommend that our shareholders approve, the compensation of Mr. Ben Zeev for his additional three-year term as external director as set forth hereinabove and determined that this resolution is for the benefit of the Company.

Required Vote

Pursuant to the Companies Law, the reelection of an external director nominated by our Board of Directors (as is the case with Mr. Ben Zeev’s nomination) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that either (i) at least a majority of the shares of non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution (excluding a personal interest that is not related to a relationship with the controlling shareholders) are voted in favor of the election of the external director or (ii) the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution (excluding a personal interest that is not related to a relationship with the controlling shareholders) voted against the election of the external director does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the company.

Pursuant to Section 273 of the Companies Law, the terms of service of members of our Board of Directors that are in accordance with our Compensation Policy generally require the approval of our Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter. The Compensation Regulations require, among other things, that the payment of minimum permitted annual fee and attendance fee and the grant of options to external directors be approved at the shareholders’ meeting in which such external director is appointed. The grant of options to an external director generally requires the same “special majority” that is required for the election of the external director (or reelection in the event the external director is nominated by the board of directors), including the requirement to mark whether or not the shareholder as a “personal interest” in the adoption of the resolution.

Mr. Shlomo Nehama, our Chairman of the Board and a director nominee, Nechama Investments and Kanir, and Mr. Ran Fridrich, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Hemi Raphael, who are both members of our Board of Directors and director nominees, are each deemed to be our “controlling shareholders” for purposes of Sections 268 and 239 of the Companies Law due to their holdings as set forth above, their respective positions with such entities and the 2008 Shareholders Agreement.
 
- 10 -


The Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on the proposal indicate whether or not the shareholder has a personal interest in the proposal (excluding, as mentioned above, a personal interest that is not related to a relationship with the controlling shareholders). Otherwise, the shareholder is not eligible to vote on this proposal. Under the Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a shareholder (i) includes a personal interest of any member of the shareholder’s family or of the shareholder’s spouse’s family (or a spouse thereof) or a personal interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder (or any of the aforementioned family members) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the shares or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer, and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of our ordinary shares. Under the Companies Law, in the case of a person voting by proxy for another person, “personal interest” includes a personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to vote. Shareholders who hold their shares through banks, brokers or other nominees that are members of the TASE should indicate whether or not they have a personal interest as explained above on the form of the deed of vote that we will file on MAGNA, the website of the Israel Securities Authority.

Proposal

At the Meeting, our Board of Directors will propose that the following resolution be adopted:

“RESOLVED, to reelect Barry Ben Zeev as an external director for an additional term of three years, commencing December 30, 2018, to approve the compensation of Mr. Ben Zeev during this additional three-year term, all as described in the Proxy Statement relating to the Meeting, and to determine that this resolution is for the benefit of the Company.”

Upon the receipt of a properly signed and dated proxy, which, with respect to the applicable portion of this resolution, includes an indication as to whether or not the shareholder is a controlling shareholder or has a “personal interest” as explained above, and unless otherwise instructed in the proxy, either of the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares represented thereby “FOR” the above-mentioned proposal.
 
ITEM 3

APPROVAL OF EXTENSION OF THE COMPANY’S 1998 SHARE OPTION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

Background

Our 1998 Option Plan provides for grants of options to purchase ordinary shares to our non-employee directors. The 1998 Option Plan, as amended, is administered by our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors.

Under the 1998 Option Plan, each non-employee director first elected or appointed, will automatically receive on such director’s first day as a director an option to purchase up to 1,000 ordinary shares pro-rated based on the number of full months of service between the prior Grant Date and the next Grant Date. Each such non-employee director would also automatically receive, on each subsequent Grant Date, an option to purchase 1,000 ordinary shares provided that he or she is a non-employee director on the Grant Date and has served as a non-employee director for the entire period since his or her previous Grant Date. The “Grant Date” means August 1 of each year.

The exercise price of the option shares under the 1998 Option Plan is 100% of the fair market of such ordinary shares at the applicable Grant Date, as more fully described in the 1998 Option Plan. The term of each option granted under the 1998 Option Plan is 10 years from the applicable date of grant and such options may be terminated earlier upon certain circumstances, such as the expiration of three months from the date of the director’s termination of service on our Board (subject to extension and certain exceptions pursuant to the terms of the 1998 Option Plan). The 1998 Option Plan was attached as an exhibit to our 2017 Annual Report.

As of May 16, 2018, there were 32,083 ordinary shares available for future grants under the 1998 Option Plan.

The original expiration date of the 1998 Option Plan pursuant to its terms was December 8, 2008 (10 years after its adoption). At the general meeting of our shareholders held on January 31, 2008, the term of the 1998 Option Plan was extended and as a result it is currently due to expire on December 8, 2018, unless earlier terminated by our Board.
 
In order to allow us to continue to use the 1998 Option Plan and grant options to current and future non-employee directors, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved the extension of the 1998 Option Plan by a period of ten years, recommended that our shareholders approve such extension and noted that the grant of options to our non-employee directors is permitted under our Compensation Policy and the approval of this  resolution is for the benefit of the Company.

ITEM 4

APPROVAL OF EXTENSION OF THE COMPANY’S 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN

Background

In 2000, we adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan, or the 2000 Option Plan, to provide for grants of service and non-employee options to purchase ordinary shares to our officers, employees, directors and consultants. The 2000 Option Plan provides that it may be administered by the Board, or by a committee appointed by the Board, and is currently administered by our Board.

We have elected the benefits available under the “capital gains” alternative of Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance. Pursuant to this election, capital gains derived by employees arising from the sale of shares acquired as a result of the exercise of options granted to them under Section 102, will be subject to a flat capital gains tax rate of 25% (instead of the gains being taxed as salary income at the employee’s marginal tax rate). However, as a result of this election, we will no longer be allowed to claim as an expense for tax purposes the amounts credited to such employees as a benefit when the related capital gains tax is payable by them, as we were previously entitled to do. We may change the election from time to time, as permitted by the Tax Ordinance. There are various conditions that must be met in order to qualify for these benefits, including registration of the options in the name of a trustee, or the Trustee, for each of the employees who is granted options. Each option, and any ordinary shares acquired upon the exercise of the option, must be held by the Trustee for a period commencing on the date of grant and ending no earlier than 24 months after the date of grant. The 2000 Option Plan was attached as an exhibit to our 2017 Annual Report.

As of May 16, 2018, there were 595,009 ordinary shares available for future grants under the 1998 Option Plan. The 2000 Plan, as amended, currently terminates on August 31, 2018.

           In order to allow us to use the 2000 Option Plan and grant options to current and future officers, employees, directors and consultants , our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved the extension of the 2000 Option Plan by a period of ten years, recommended that our shareholders approve such extension and noted that the grant of options to officers is permitted under our Compensation Policy.

Accordingly, at the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the extension of the 2000 Option Plan for an additional ten year period.
 
- 12 -

 
Required Vote

The adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares of the Company voted in person or by proxy at the Meeting. The adoption of this proposal by our shareholders is required under the NYSE American Company Guide. We may in the future elect to follow home country laws (i.e., Israeli law) in lieu of following the requirement for shareholder approval under the NYSE American Company Guide.

Proposal

At the Meeting, our Board of Directors will propose that the following resolution be adopted:

“RESOLVED, to amend Section 12 of the Company’s 2000 Option Plan to provide for an extension of the term of such plan for an additional ten-year period, so that it will expire, unless terminated earlier by the Board, on August 31, 2028 and to determine that this resolution is for the benefit of the Company.”

Upon the receipt of a properly signed and dated proxy, and unless otherwise instructed in the proxy, either of the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares represented thereby “FOR” the above-mentioned proposal.
 
ITEM 5

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY’S SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Background

Our Articles and Compensation Policy permit us to provide indemnification, exemption and liability insurance to our office holders based on the limitations prescribed by the Companies Law. Our Compensation Policy also includes certain limitations on the scope of indemnification undertakings and exemptions we may provide commencing upon the date our Compensation Policy was amended to include such limitations. Accordingly, we propose to update our Articles to include the limitations included in our Compensation Policy with respect to the maximum indemnification amount permitted to be included in our undertakings to indemnify office holders and a limitation of our right to provide exemptions to our office holders.

In addition, we propose to update our Articles based on an amendment to the Israeli Restrictive Trade Practice Law, 5748-1988 permitting a company to insure and indemnify its office holders for expenses, including reasonable legal fees, including attorney fees, incurred by the office holder with respect to a proceeding in accordance with the Restrictive Trade Practices Law. Accordingly, we propose to update our Articles of Association with respect to indemnification, insurance and exemption of our office holders to be in line with the amendments to the Restrictive Trade Practice Law, which will enable us to indemnify and insure our office holders to the full extent permitted by law thereby retaining and attracting qualified office holders.

The foregoing is only a summary of the proposed changes. The proposed changes appear in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. The words proposed to be added are underlined and the words proposed to be deleted are presented by “ strikethrough ”.

Required Vote

The amendment of our Articles generally requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter. However, pursuant to Section 262 of the Companies Law, the adoption of a proposal to include provisions relating to exemption, indemnification or insurance in a company’s articles in the event an office holder of such company is also a condoling shareholder of the company also requires that either (i) at least a majority of the shares of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution are voted in favor of the election of the external director or (ii) the total number of shares of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution voted against the election of the external director does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the company. As noted under Item 2 of this Proxy Statement, Messrs. Nehama, Raphael and Fridrich are all deemed to be our “controlling shareholders” for purposes of Section 268 of the Companies Law and are also office holders of our company.
 
- 13 -

 
Pursuant to Section 276 of the Companies Law, all shareholders are asked to indicate on the enclosed proxy card whether or not they have a personal interest in the approval of this proposal, otherwise, the shareholder is not eligible to vote on the relevant portion of such proposal. For a discussion of the provisions of the Companies Law regarding personal interests, please see “Required Vote” under Item 2.

Proposal

At the Meeting, our Board of Directors will propose that the following resolution be adopted:

“RESOLVED, to approve the amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association as are set forth on Appendix A to the Proxy Statement and to determine that this resolution is for the benefit of the Company.”

Upon the receipt of a properly signed and dated proxy, which includes an indication as to whether or not the shareholder has a “personal interest” as explained above, and unless otherwise instructed in the proxy, either of the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares represented thereby “FOR” the above-mentioned proposal.
 
ITEM 6

APPROVAL OF NEW FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION UNDERTAKING AND EXEMPTION

Background

The Companies Law permits an Israeli company to undertake to indemnify its office holders in advance, to exempt office holders from certain liabilities and to provide liability insurance covering its office holders against and with respect to certain liabilities, subject to limitations that appear in the Companies Law and provided that such company’s articles permit such indemnification, exemption and insurance. Our Articles permit us to provide such indemnification undertakings, exemptions and insurance, subject to the limitations imposed by the Companies Law and by our Articles of Association.

As approved by our shareholders, we previously provided our office holders, including office holders who are deemed to be controlling shareholders, with indemnification undertakings, which also include an undertaking to provide liability insurance, and with letters of exemption. The forms of indemnification undertaking and exemption letter were attached as exhibits to our 2017 Annual Report.

Pursuant to the Companies Law, the terms of service of controlling shareholders, which include the provision of indemnification undertakings, exemptions and liability insurance, cannot continue for more than three consecutive years unless re-approved by the compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders every three years. Our office holders who are also deemed to be controlling shareholders received indemnification undertakings from us, which as noted above include an undertaking to provide liability insurance, and letters of exemption, most recently at our 2015 Shareholders Meeting.

In light of the limitations included in our Compensation Policy and the proposed amendments to our Articles of Association set forth under Item 5 above, and provided that our Articles of Association are amended as proposed in such Item 5, we propose to amend our form of indemnification undertaking as contemplated by such amendments and to combine it with an exemption from liability. We also propose other modifications required in light of the change in our business activities since the approval of the current form of indemnification undertaking, to ensure that our directors are afforded protection to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The foregoing is only a summary of the proposed amendments. The proposed form of amended indemnification undertaking and exemption is attached hereto as Appendix B . The words proposed to be added are underlined and the words proposed to be deleted are presented by “ strikethrough ”.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the new form of indemnification undertaking is approved but the requisite amendments to our Articles (as set forth under Item 5 of this Proxy Statement) are not approved, our current and future office holders will be entitled to receive amended forms of indemnification undertakings that do not include the revisions based on the proposed amendment to our Articles. In addition, the new form of undertaking shall not cancel or derogate or constitute a waiver of any other indemnification that an office holder is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of any law or in accordance with any previous undertaking provided by us and/or previous agreement with us, insofar as the said undertaking is legally valid, and from any other resolution by us to grant indemnification or to procure insurance for some or all of our office holders; provided, however, that we will not be obligated to indemnify an office holder, for the same event, both in accordance with any previous undertaking (if and insofar as such previous undertaking will be valid) and in accordance with the new form of undertaking.
 
- 14 -


Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors determined that the amended form attached hereto is in line with the Companies Law, our Articles (as will be amended pursuant to Item 5 above) and our Compensation Policy and approved, and recommend that our shareholders approve, the amended form of indemnification undertaking and exemption, the replacement of the indemnification undertakings and letters of exemption provided to our current office holders, including office holders deemed to be controlling shareholders, with the new approved form, and the provision of such new form to any of our future office holders, including office holders who are deemed to be controlling shareholders and determined that this resolution is for the benefit of the Company.

Required Vote

Pursuant to Section 273 of the Companies Law, the terms of service of members of our Board of Directors that are in accordance with our Compensation Policy generally require the approval of our Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter.

As noted under Item 2 of this Proxy Statement, Messrs. Nehama, Raphael and Fridrich are all deemed to be our “controlling shareholders” for purposes of Section 268 of the Companies Law. Pursuant to Sections 270(4) and 275 of the Companies Law, the approval of the terms of service of controlling shareholders, including the approval of indemnification undertakings, exemptions and provision of liability insurance, requires the approval of our Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter provided that either (i) at least a majority of the shares of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution are voted in favor of the election of the external director or (ii) the total number of shares of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution voted against the election of the external director does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the company.

Pursuant to Section 276 of the Companies Law, all shareholders are asked to indicate on the enclosed proxy card whether or not they have a personal interest in the approval of this proposal with respect to our office holders who are deemed to be controlling shareholders, otherwise, the shareholder is not eligible to vote on the relevant portion of such proposal. For a discussion of the provisions of the Companies Law regarding personal interests, please see “Required Vote” under Item 2.
 
To the extent that the proposed resolution is approved only by the affirmative vote of our ordinary shares, but not by the special majority of the non-interested shareholders as described above, we will provide the new form of undertaking only to our office holders who are not deemed to be controlling shareholders.

Proposal

At the Meeting, our Board of Directors will propose that the following resolution be adopted:

“RESOLVED, to approve the granting of the indemnification undertaking and exemption, in the form attached to the Proxy Statement as Appendix B, to all of the Company’s current and future office holders, including office holders who are deemed to be controlling shareholders, and to determine that this resolution is for the benefit of the Company.”

Upon the receipt of a properly signed and dated proxy, which, with respect to the applicable portion of this resolution, includes an indication as to whether or not the shareholder has a “personal interest” as explained above, and unless otherwise instructed in the proxy, either of the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares represented thereby “FOR” the above-mentioned proposal.

ITEM 7

PROCUREMENT OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS LIABILITY INSURANCE

General

The Companies Law provides that a company may, if permitted by its articles of association, obtain insurance for an office holder against liabilities incurred with respect to an act or omission in his or her capacity as an office holder.  These liabilities include a breach of duty of care to the company or a third-party, a breach of duty of loyalty (provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable cause to assume that his or her act would not prejudice the company’s interests) and any monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third-party. Our Articles permit us to enter into an agreement for the insurance of the liability of our office holders to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The current coverage of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy is $15 million, for which we currently pay an annual premium of approximately $115,000. This coverage was previously approved by our shareholders, most recently at the 2015 Shareholders Meeting.

Our Compensation Policy provides that our directors and officers will be covered by a directors and officers liability insurance policy, to be periodically purchased by us subject to receipt of approvals required under the Companies Law.

Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved, and recommended that our shareholders approve, the terms and conditions for the renewal, extension and/or replacement, from time to time, of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for all directors and officers of our company and its subsidiaries, who may serve from time to time (including current and future office holders who may be deemed to be controlling shareholders, within the meaning of the Companies Law), or the New Policy, as follows: (i) the coverage limit per claim and in the aggregate under the New Policy may not exceed an amount representing an increase of 20%, as compared to the current coverage limit; and (ii) the premium paid for such New Policy may be up to $230,000.  No further approval of our shareholders will be required in connection with any renewal and/or extension and/or purchase of the New Policy entered into in compliance with the foregoing terms and conditions.

Required Vote

Pursuant to Section 273 of the Companies Law, the terms of service of members of our Board of Directors that are in accordance with our Compensation Policy generally require the approval of our Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter.
 
As noted under Item 6 above, in general, the terms of service of office holders who are deemed to be “controlling shareholders” also require the approval by a “special majority” as described in Item 6. However, the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief for Transactions with Interested Parties), 2000 provide that in the event a company’s compensation committee and board of directors determine that the insurance provided to the controlling shareholders is: (i) upon terms identical to those provided to the company’s other officers and directors, (ii) on market conditions, and (iii) not likely to materially affect the company’s profitability, assets or liabilities, the approval of the company’s shareholders for the provision of liability insurance to controlling shareholders will not be required. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors confirmed that these conditions are met with respect to the proposed New Policy and therefore shareholders’ approval is not required in connection with the inclusion of office holders who are or may be deemed to be controlling shareholders in the New Policy.
 
Proposal

At the Meeting, our Board of Directors will propose that the following resolution be adopted:

“RESOLVED, that the terms and conditions for the renewal, extension and/or replacement of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of the Company and its subsidiaries, for all office holders of the Company, who may serve from time to time, set forth in the Proxy Statement, be and hereby is approved and that this resolution is for the benefit of the Company.”
